Chapter 342
At the end of January 2014, Earth time, on the Red Sea Island in the province of Ionia Baru'e.
The Red Sea Island, located south of the province of Navoli, between the islands of Baru'a and Ciyun, is the smallest of the many archipelagos in Ionia.
Although this small island occupies a small area, it is the most suitable place for human habitation because the entire island is a plain terrain.
Xiao Yuebai and his entourage were sent to the beach of Red Sea Island by the ferry boat of Zhiyun Province, looking at a green grassland with a height of about one meter and a half in front of them, Kaisha asked Taliya who climbed down from the boat:
"Tuliyah, why is this place called Red Sea Island?"
"Hmm!" The little sparrow, who was drinking water, hurriedly put down the kettle on his waist when he heard this, then looked around the surrounding scenery and said, "I know! ”
"My teacher and I came here that year, and it was autumn, and the vegetation of the whole island turned red due to the influence of the sea and native magic, and walking on this island was like swimming in a sea of red! That's why it's called Red Sea Island. ”
Brushing her long hair, Keisha nodded thoughtfully, and then said faintly: "It looks like we're here at a bad time!" ”
"Not really!" Taliyah lifted the kettle he was carrying on his back, and said with a smile: "There are many Ionians living here, and we can see a very authentic Ionian life. ”
Speaking of this, Taliya seemed to remember something, then wrinkled his nose and continued: "When I used to practice with my teacher, it was because it was during the war. ”
"So I've always been sleeping in the open, and I've basically never seen how ordinary Ionians live, and now I really want to see it when I have the chance."
"The teacher told me, I was very curious at the time, but now it looks like I can take a good look!"
After saying that, Taliya first thought about the plain in the distance, and Xiao Yuebai also happened to finish the money for the boat with the Ionians behind him and came to the queen's side.
Looking at the figure of the girl who was jumping away, Xiao Yuebai smiled and said, "What did you say?" That girl seems to be in a good mood, huh? ”
After telling her husband what Taliya had just said, Xiao Yuebai's gaze suddenly became solemn, and then he pulled the queen to hurry up and quickly follow the back that was gradually moving away.
Kaisha obviously felt her husband's strange appearance, and said in a condensed voice while following the footsteps of Boss Xiao: "Yue Bai, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yuebai knew that Taliya left because of Azir's resurrection, so he ended his studies early and left Ionia.
Chronologically, when Taliyah left Ionia, Presidium had not yet been recovered by Irelia, so it is completely unknown what happened to Ionia later.
But Xiao Yuebai has some understanding of the current situation in Ionia, and after the end of the war, Ionia has fallen into a state of entanglement in his thoughts.
There is a large part of the people who understand that power can bring them everything they want in the process of resisting the invaders with violence, so they are under the influence of this kind of thinking.
These people have become a complete force watch, they use the power of tradition, they do things that tradition absolutely does not allow.
For example, roadblocks and robberies, killing people for money, in short, when desires are born from the heart, these Ionians, who have been influenced by the Noxians, will become people who only know how to pursue with violence.
Most of these people walk in the north-west of Ionia, in the provinces of Navoli and Barouo.
So when Xiao Yuebai knew that this island was inhabited, he immediately reflected it.
Although he and Kaisha didn't care about the schemes of these ordinary people, Taliya really didn't know anything about it, so in order to prevent Taliya from encountering any accidents, Xiao Yuebai hurriedly pulled Kaisha to chase after him.
The couple caught up with Taliya, and as soon as they crossed the grassland, several patchwork treehouses appeared in front of them.
It's a village of only three or two families, and everything that happens inside is a big one for three people.
At this moment, several men dressed in Ionian civilian costumes were at the other end of the village, facing these two men in power suits with armor tied to their limbs, as if they were arguing about something.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuebai and the queen secretly glanced at each other, and the couple realized at the same time that it should be these villagers living here who were in trouble.
However, before Xiao Yuebai could decide whether to leave this matter alone, Taliya ran towards the village first. Seeing this situation, Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha had no choice but to follow.
As the distance got closer, the couple finally heard the conversation between them.
I only heard the man dressed like a samurai say, "Anyway, I have helped this country fight, and we only hope that you can give up this village now!" ”
"I know what you've done, so I respect you too!" Among the civilians, an elder who looked a little older continued:
"But this is the home that our ancestors built up and let us live, and we can't give it up easily!"
"Humph!" The man in the suit snorted coldly and said, "When the Noxians called, didn't you also run to Kalmar?" Why did you give up at that time? ”
"You...!" The elder's eyes widened, his expression suddenly became very angry, he raised his hand and pointed at the man who spoke, and said, "The wisdom of the Apocalypse should be respected, how can you call the Apocalypse by his name!" ”
"Hahaha...! Apocalypse... Apocalypse! The elder's words seemed to touch the heart of the man in the strong suit, only to hear him laugh wildly a few times before suddenly looking down at the elder and saying:
"Where was the Apocalypse when my parents were poisoned by alchemy gas? When my comrades died on the battlefield, where was the Apocalypse? Karma, that coward, is she worthy of the title of the Apocalypse? ”
"Too lazy to talk nonsense with you, I now officially inform you on behalf of the Navoli Brotherhood. This village will be the headquarters of our Navoli Brotherhood in the south, and you cowards who can only do utopian things get out of here before it's too late. ”
"Otherwise...... We don't know you with the weapons in our hands! Finally, I will give you three days, and after three days, if we can see you again when we come, don't blame us for not caring about our fellow citizens! ”
After the warrior in the suit finished speaking, he turned around and left, but what he just said caused a lot of damage to the elder, and he raised his arm and pointed at the warrior tremblingly and said:
"You... You guys...! What is the difference between you and those who invade us? ”
The elder's words seemed to touch the samurai's heart, and he suddenly stopped his steps, then turned his head slightly and looked at half of his face for a moment, and then suddenly said faintly:
"Yes, but at least... We will no longer be bullied by outsiders! ”
As the warrior set foot on the way to leave again, Taliya, Xiao Yuebai, and Kaisha, who had already come behind the civilians, also listened to this conversation completely.
Seeing the different faces of these civilians discussing with each other in whispers, Taliya's face couldn't help but have a touch of sadness, and she only heard her say faintly:
"How did Ionia become like this?"
